Judas Priest Announce 2019 Headlining Tour

Judas Priest have announced a 32-date North American headlining tour for 2019. They will be out in support of their latest studio album, Firepower, which was released in March of 2018. Classic metal act Uriah Heap will serve as the opening act. A full list of dates and locations can be found below.

Priest have spent a majority of 2018 on the road. With Glenn Tipton unable to fulfill his live role on a permanent basis due to Parkinson's Disease, the band tapped producer Andy Sneap to complete their guitar tandem alongside Richie Faulkner.

In June, Tipton launched the Glenn Tipton's Parkinson's Foundation to aid research. It's been a team effort as Priest debuted "No Surrender" t-shirts where all of the proceeds will go back into the foundation.

Firepower debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, selling roughly 49,000 copies in its first week.
